So I've just built my new pc and I want to get a better cpu cooler but I'm not sure what to get for Ryzen. I have no budget but it can't be too expensive. Ps: I'm going to be overclocking my CPU

Here are the specs:

Ryzen 7 1700
MSI B350 Tomahawk
G1 gaming GTX 1080
16gb Corsair Vengeance 3000mhz
1Tb WD blue
250gb WD blue pcie ssd
750w EVGA modular PSU

Yeah, given how meager overclocks are on Ryzen, I personally wouldn't bother pushing my luck much beyond the point where the chip needs voltage bumps, which is 3.8.3.9GHz a lot of the time. Spending $80+ on additional cooling for 100-200MHz more in most cases doesn't make sense to me either.

If you had the X version(cooler not included), then we would've pointed you towards an air cooler anyway.
AIOs are just really poor value - gotta spend over $100 just for the good ones - and for that cpu, you can get a good air cooler with similar performance for ~$50 or less!
